 LCM II Features
The new LCM II System features the
following benefits for handling all your
surge arrester monitoring needs:
• Portable
• Arrester ID
• Data Management
• Cost Effective
• Continuous Monitoring
Portable: Instrument for inspection of
surge arresters for condition assessment
on a regular basis. New LCM II is batte-
ry operated.
Arrester ID: Unique identification of
each surge arrester makes Data
Management easy. LCM II can store
1000 surge arrester ID’s and measure-
ments performed in the field.
Data Management is secured through
new Windows© LCM II Software hand-
ling all your surge arrester readings.
Defines individual surge arrester types
including operational parameters.
Software includes e.g. possibility to
perform evaluation of groups of surge
arresters e.g. same type of arresters or
alternatively for a region.
Cost effective: Inspection of a surge
arrester takes less than 10 minutes on
location and can be performed with the
arrester in live operation (no disturbance
of power distribution).

Continuous Monitoring: LCM II can be
used for continuous monitoring of one or
more arresters to investigate details in
leakage current changes versus time.
Can also be used for continuous
registration in substations of big
importance to the system operation
reliability. Available solutions include
on-line configurations using modem
communication between LCM II instru-
ment and PC software.
